She has her own beauty line at Sephora called “stealing your man since 1928,” 3 million followers on Instagram, and Rihanna and Miley Cyrus are fans. Helen Ruth van Winkle, who is 92 years old, is a southern Instagram star who became famous on the internet in 2014.
She lived a pretty normal life in Waco, Kentucky, before she became famous. She had a small 6-acre farm, took care of her great-grandchildren, kept her garden looking nice, and went to church every Sunday. Then, one day, Helen’s great-daughter took a picture of her wearing cut-off shorts and a tie-dyed t-shirt.
She set up her Instagram account with the help of the same great-granddaughter, where she posted the photo. Helen, who goes by the name Baddie Winkle, says, “I’ve always been a bad b**ch and a rebel.” “So we decided ‘bad’ — ‘baddie.’ Then, my last name was van Winkle, so the Winkle was added. The first thing Baddie Winkle posted went viral quickly, and the number of people who followed her steadily grew over time.
Baddie Winkle took over social media with her bright, weird, and eclectic outfits and her attitude of “zero f**ks given.” Even though not everyone might like her style, we can all agree on one thing: this woman’s confidence is inspiring.
